What is HELLO, DOLLY! about?

HELLO, DOLLY! tells the story of a meddlesome socialite turned matcher Dolly Levi. She travels to Yonkers, New York to find a match for the miserly, unmarried 'half-a-millionaire' Horace Vandergelder but everything changes when she decides that in fact, the next match she needs to make is for herself.

This iconic musical features Jerry Herman's timeless score including 'Put On Your Sunday Clothes', 'It Only Takes a Moment', and of course the title number, 'Hello, Dolly!'. It promises to be the event of the summer.
